    How much should we focus on God?

    God tells us we are to work as if unto him. So he does know that we are given skills and tasks and have to work to pay for our needs and so I would believe that means since he has given us 'assignments' that we are not going to be able to 'focus solely on him all day' unless we are a monk or...

    Prayers for Family

    Keep praying. Leave them with GOD and trust that GOD knows what is best for them that he loves them more than you do. I have to do the same with my children and family that are not saved. I pray for them every single night. Fasting in prayer may be helpful. Many prayers for you and your family.

    Feeling cross or even angry with god

    You should pray about everything. There is only 1 unforgiveable sin and that is blaspheme of the Holy Spirit. Being angry at God is forgivable and talking with him is healing. Many prayers.

    God doesn't speak to me the way he used to

    It is important for you to get into God's word and put that word into you, into your soul and into your mind and spend time thinking over and over about GOD's word. He wants us to commit it to memory that we might not sin against him. He speaks in all different kinds of ways. Sometimes he...

    When you're unable to receive Good News

    When people who are supposed to treat you as included and loved unconditionally do not suddenly and they instead make life very difficult, it is hard to see God's love shining through.

    how to deal with a lukewarm boyfriend?

    Remember what the Bible says about being lukewarm. Jesus did not like lukewarm. He would rather you be on fire for him or not for him at all, but not lukewarm. He said this in Revelations 3:16. You need to stand firm for Christ and let this young man stand firm for his faith. By his 'fruit'...

    Waiting on God after He promises something

    I have been praying for a husband. I remember as a teen feeling like this was something I was to be when I was older - a wife and mother. I have had two marriages that ended in disaster because I didn't wait on GOD for the RIGHT one and for GOD's timing and will. I made my own choices and...

    bribing kids

    I've seen it explained both ways - bribing and incentive. Definitely a topic of discussion. Not something easily worked out. Is it much different than giving children an allowance for chores? You want them to have good work ethic, and learn how to manage money, but at same time, there isn't...

    Pray for me and my son

    Many many prayers for you! I don't know your circumstances, but I wrongfully had my 2 children removed by the state also and had to jump through so many hoops to get them back. It took me a year to get my son back and a year and a half for my daughter, and they were almost trying to give her...
